stomping grounds redux

Wallace & Aspen, Bozeman

I am back in architecture school and that means you get to do fun hypothetical projects with hypothetical money.  This semester's project is hypothetically located in NE Bozeman so today I spent 2.5 hours covering 3.5 miles, run-walking with my friend Alex's super deluxe Canon EOS Rebel T2i.  It was overcast and wet out so I wasn't really looking forward to the expedition but it turned out to be quite fun as I am a neighborhood-explorer by nature.  This is the area of Bozeman which I consider to be my old stomping grounds (back when I was a youngster in my mid-20s).  I've covered a lot of miles in this neighborhood - actually I still run here occasionally after work or on my lunch break - so it was nice to get some pictures of this incredibly eclectic and visually stunning district.  Historically, it is a mixed-use, industrial-residential neighborhood which is now inhabited by artists, skiers, cyclists, blue-collar workers, and environmentally friendly stewards who keep the neighborhood smelling charmingly of wood burning stoves all day long.

In order to maintain consistency, today's posted pic was still taken with the Droid even though I took 258 photos with the Canon (thanks Alex!).  Tomorrow I'm going back for more!
